Quick take
Hand-tied Crazy Charlie flies on Mustad 2X hooks with weed guards and bead eyes, sized for bonefish and permit on the flats.
A saltwater shrimp-style fly for bonefish and other flats species, tied on a Mustad Duratin Signature hook with bead eyes for a low profile. A weed guard and calf tail wing keep turtle grass off the hook, and the guard can be trimmed back when it is not needed. This pack holds six white flies, suited to anglers working shallow flats for species that feed on shrimp or glass minnows.
Best for
- Sight fishing for bonefish on shallow flats
- Permit fishing where small presentation matters
- Saltwater fly fishing in clear water sight-casting scenarios
Skip if
- You fish deep saltwater channels where bigger profiles work better
- You need flies for species other than flats predators
Strengths
- 2X extra heavy wire Mustad hooks are strong for large fish
- Weed guard keeps grass off the hook point on shallow flats
- Bead eyes give flash and low-profile soft landing
Trade-offs
- Small sizes limit use to lightweight fly rods and light lines
- Weed guard placement means some hook point protection
- White color may be too visible in some clear-water conditions

About this type
A lure is an artificial bait that draws a strike with its shape, color and movement.
Each kind is built for certain depths and ways of fishing.
Weight decides how far a lure casts and what rod and line it needs; color changes how visible it is in the water.
